Graphic Digits
New typographic approach to numerals
|
Numerals is a brilliant graphic element in its own right. From handwriting to analogue displays and digital type, these geometric symbols have evolved as starkly as types did, marking names, time, sum and coding messages with simply 10 digits, from 0 to 9. As the first-ever focused review of modern digit design, Graphic Digits profiles more than a hundred inspirational approaches that give numbers a magnified position in dally communications. From handicrafts to vector configurations, this title examines the artistic possibilities of customising rational and random numeral combinations in graphic identities, packaging, celebrations and marketing campaigns.

The history of form
A lot of things happened in Germany, Europe and the world within the past 60 years - in society, politics, economy and technology and therefore in design, too. form magazine is a contemporary witness of these changes, while being an influencer at the same time. The change is made visible in in the more than 250 issues of the design magazine. What started off as an idea of four creative people in 1957, is today a forum with many loyal subscribers, which offers orientation, sets key topics and stimulates the design discourse.
1957
Founded as “International Revue” by Jupp Ernst, Willem Sandberg, Curt Schweicher and Wilhelm Wagenfeld. Form magazine starts as a wide-ranging culture magazine not only dealing with art, architecture, and industrial design but also with ballet, music, poetry, and designer manifestos.
1962
Karlheinz Krug becomes the new editor. In his function as editor in chief (until 1998) and co-publisher (until 2001) the industrial designer has a defining impact on the magazines development and appearance.
1966
The introduction of the new subtitle “Zeitschrift für Gestaltung” (“design magazine”) manifests a refocusing of the magazine initiated by Karlheinz Krug. Furthermore, an international advisory board is introduced. Among others, members are Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Sigfried Giedion, Johannes Itten, Richard Buckminster Fuller, and Max Bill.
1974
Bertelsmann Publishing acquires Westdeutscher Verlag (Western German Publishing). The editor in chief Karlheinz Krug, form graphic designer Hanswerner Klein and bookseller and publisher Hans Otto Döring unhinge the magazine from the sales package. They found form publishing and continue publishing the magazine on their own.
1994
Co-publisher Alex Buck and Manager Matthias Vogt resume the management of form publishing. In Frankfurt, journalist Fabian Wurm and graphic designer Andres Liedtke have a defining influence on the magazine until 1998. In cooperation with the “Büro für Gestaltung (“Design Office”) Offenbach, the relaunch of the magazine takes place during that time as well. form publishing starts to release designer monographs and publication series like “Designer Profiles”, “Design Classics”, “form theory”, and “form discourse”.
1997
Mathias Wollin designs the all-new form website that goes online for the first time. Internationally renowned designers like Stefan Sagmeister, Jonathan Barnbrook, Peter Saville, Gunter Rambow, or Mike Meiré design the cover of form magazine.
1999
After more than 25 years, Karlheinz Krug withdraws from his duties within the editorial department but continues his work as co-publisher until 2001. To follow in his footsteps as the new editor in chief is Petra Schmidt. form magazine introduces the new subtitle “The European Design Magazine” and from now on is published bilingually in German and English.
2002
Belonging to Springer Science and Business Media, Birkhäuser Publishing takes over form magazine. In consequence, the editorial department relocates their headquarters to Neu-Isenburg Gravenbruch.
2005
The magazine focuses on the different stages of the design process. The new subtitle “Making of Design” puts emphasis on this new orientation. In addition to the new content concept, the agency ade hauser lacour from Frankfurt fundamentally overhauls the layout of the magazine and the website.
2006
Gerrit Terstiege, a member of the form staff since 1997, becomes the new editor in chief.
2007
form celebrates its 50-year anniversary and relocates its office to the Birkhäuser publishing headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. The archive of issues René Spitz constructed for his postdoctoral lecture qualification goes online. It contains more than 20000 pages.
2010
The Spanish publishing house Actar acquires the sections architecture and design of the Birkhäuser Publishing. form magazine is part of this acquisition.
2011
The longtime editor in chief and publisher Karlheinz Krug passes away at the age of 77.
2012
Birkhäuser Publishing declares bankruptcy. In consequence, Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co. KG Berlin acquires the book publishing rights, Peter Wesner acquires the rights of form publishing and form magazine. Stephan Ott becomes the new editor in chief. Form magazine is published by form publishing GmbH & Co. KG, Frankfurt.
2013
Designers Heimann and Schwantes from Berlin realize the relaunch of form. The magazine is visually and content wise adapted to the demands and changes of the contemporary design discourse. At the same time the all new website goes online.

Unit Editions Identity
Unit Editions is a collaboration between Tony Brook (Spin) and author Adrian Shaughnessy, and brings the notion of the book as a highly-designed artifact with rich visual and textual content to an international audience of design professionals, design students and followers of visual culture. Each book combines impeccable design and production standards with insightful texts and informative commentaries on a wide range of subjects.

It was the winter of 1985, when photographer Brian Rose decided to explore New York’s Meatpacking District with his 4×5 view camera. Early in the morning before dawn, it was a scene of carnage as men grappled with meat carcasses hanging from hooks under metal awnings along the streets. At night, a different sort of meat market took place as prostitutes prowled the same streets, and leather clad men sought the anonymous doors of sex clubs.
But during the daytime when Rose wandered the streets, the area was utterly abandoned – a stage set New York – as if the actors had all gone on break. The desolation is astonishing in light of what has happened in the years since to the Meatpacking District and New York in general.
Rose never printed his Meatpacking images. He went on to other projects, other parts of the world. In 2012 he pulled out the box of negatives and began scanning. The recovered images, made with little artifice, were stunning to see. At the urging of many, he decided to re-photograph the Meatpacking District, repeating many of the 1985 views–like the Washington and Bank Street in the boxheader above–and making a number of new ones.
The result is Metamorphosis: Meatpacking District 1985 + 2013 (Golden Section Publishers, $60), a vivid look at the old world and the new, 1985 versus 2013 and a book that tells the story of almost unprecedented urban transformation, from wasteland to epicenter of art and fashion.

Another is a design studio for page and screen, led by Frank Chimero. They make lively work that threads digital and print for culture and commerce.
Many of the qualities they associate with digital mediums—transience, cheapness, piecemeal—also apply to newspapers.
Web Press is an ongoing exploration of this overlap by playing with the possibility of translating digital content (animated GIFs, CraigsList ads, Reddit threads, blog posts, YouTube videos, etc.) into a similarly inclined printed format to “stabilize” it. Interior spreads are designed by students in the workshop, and Chimero designs the covers afterward to capture the feel of the day. Copies of the paper arrive the following week.
A fantastic concept for art and design department cohesion.

Melbourne-based Bardo run by directors Luis Vialeand and Brenda Imboden, in collaboration with a close-nit network of freelancers, the studio has been producing some lovely work, such as branding for artisan meat company Zamora, and an installation for Polar illustrating climate change's affects on the arctic poles.
The projects demonstrate the visual diversity of outcomes that may be achieved on a course such as BTEC Graphic Design. A brief can be inspired by a studio's projects across HE and FE and cross college projects can be arranged to gain the most from the student.
Bardo demonstrate the use of photography, typography, craft, fine art, design, fashion/merchandise, branding, identity. Great example for any media, art and design department.

Ken Garland Structure and Substance
Unit 09
Ken Garland: Structure and Substance is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to the entire career of legendary English designer Ken Garland, from student exercises in the 1950s to his self-published photography books of recent years.
The biographical essay, written by Adrian Shaughnessy and accompanied by rare personal photographs, touches on the many sides of Garland: the ethical and political designer; the writer; the teacher; the photographer. It is underpinned by interviews with his contemporaries and peers. Garland himself cooperated with all aspects of the production of this book.
Now in his eighties, Garland is still as relevant to the design community today as he was when he published his famous 'First Things First' manifesto in 1964. He has a strong following amongst young designers and frequently lectures to large audiences, captivating them with his highly personal approach. A recent example of this is his talk at TYPO London on 20 October 2012, you can watch the video here.
– Paperback 168x224mm 328 pages ISBN 978-0-9562071-9-7 Published: December 2012
– Author: Adrian Shaughnessy Editors: Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy Design: Spin
– 'My introduction to Garland was as an agent provocateur, the author in 1964 of the first 'First Things First' Manifesto, which attempted to radicalize designers who were lazily serving the more dubious needs of consumerist culture. It gave rise to the 2000 version (which I signed). I knew Garland for his anti-nuke and anti-war work, and as the quintessential troublemaker, a role I admired, rather than as a world class midcentury modern designer, which he was.' Steven Heller, The Daily Heller
Superb use of structure, contextual design referencing for any Graphic Design course.

Kwadraat–Bladen A series of graphic experiments 1955—74
Unit 06
Kwadraat-Bladen was the brainchild of graphic designer Pieter Brattinga (1931-2004). He set out to prove that his family’s printing firm was the best in the Netherlands by publishing a journal that would surprise its readers with its radical content, unusual format, and state-of-the-art production techniques.
Brattinga was a visionary: he was amongst the first to encourage designers to enter the print works and to collaborate with printers. He invited many of the best Dutch artists and designers to produce an edition of Kwadraat-Bladen that pushed design and print to the outer limits. Artists and designers who designed editions of Kwadraat-Bladen included: – Wim Crouwel – Anthon Beeke – Willem Sandberg – Jan Bons – Otto Treuman – Dieter Roth
Unit Editions is delighted to publish the first English language book devoted to this revolutionary publishing venture, which mixed art and design and used every known print and print production technique. The book has a scholarly essay by Dutch design historian Dingenus van de Vrie and a foreword by Wim Crouwel.
